Before you start DOP-C02
Is this course current for the DOP-C02 exam?
It follows the current DOP-C02 exam guide — all 6 exam domains, with the weights shown on this page, and was last updated May 2026.
How do I book the DOP-C02 exam, and what does it cost?
You book it directly with AWS. The official exam page lists the current fee, format, length and passing score, which can vary by country.
Is this an exam dump?
No. The lessons and quiz questions are written to teach the exam objectives, and every answer comes with an explanation. Real exam questions (“dumps”) break the exam provider’s candidate agreement and can cost you the certification.
What do I need for the hands-on walkthroughs?
Your own AWS account. The walkthroughs create real resources; the AWS Free Tier covers many of them. Delete what you create when you finish so you don’t keep paying. Pro members can use a CloudaQube AWS sandbox instead.
How long does it take?
About 12 hours of lessons, videos and hands-on walkthroughs across 6 modules, plus a 50-question practice exam.
What’s free?
Module 1 in full — lessons, hands-on walkthrough and quiz — with no card required. Any paid plan (from $8.99/mo) unlocks all 6 modules and the practice exam, and starts with a 14-day free trial.
